Adelaide believe an inside edge, rather than need for speed, is key to halting Greater Western Sydney's record AFL winning streak.

While most marvel at the Giants' flashy speed, the Crows have studied their knack of winning contested ball ahead of Saturday night's encounter at Adelaide Oval.

"Rather than speed, it's going to be the ability to win the ball at the contest and try and limit their ability to spread and run off us," Adelaide assistant coach David Teague told reporters on Friday.
